Family Birthday Picnic 
We spent a gorgeous day on the river yesterday (16th November) celebrating two birthdays, mine and my son's, although mine had passed, and his was yet to come on 30th November. And to mark the occasion my family gave me this great travel book (Eyewitness Travel). It has a large map inside of the City of Barcelona, transport maps and all the history and information you would ever want to know about this Catalonian region. I will be well-prepared and also given a Spanish phrase book. I can now go beyond Hasta la Vista to Soy de Australia!

















Pics taken around 4.00pm and at dusk of my beautiful granddaughters dancing. And what a sunset with an eyeshadow palette of cloud, and the moon poking its white eye into the scene!
